Parks & Trails

Elk Mountain has an easily accessible trailhead, alpine meadows and an excellent view of the entire Fraser Valley and surrounding mountains.

The trail begins and remains in the forest for the first hour, with a friendly uphill grade. After the hour mark, the climb will get steeper. You'll reach the first major lookout on Elk Mountain in approximately 1.5 to 2 hours. Rest there and enjoy the view of the Fraser Valley, but don't quit yet! The real reward for all of your hard work is about another 10 minutes up the trail, where you'll see breathtaking views of Mount Slesse, Border Peaks, the Chilliwack River and surrounding mountains.

The City of Chilliwack has partnered with a number of local organizations and non-profit groups to develop an Adopt-a-Park and Adopt-a-Trail program. Groups volunteer their time to cleanup parks and trails in Chilliwack, to keep the community looking its best!

Created as a supporting document to Chilliwack's Official Community Plan (OCP) the Greenspace Plan and supplementary Trail Network Plan sets out the City's goals and visions for developing new parks and trails over the coming decades.
